Another "alternative" Hollywood Christmas movie in a sea of festive romantic comedies from Hallmark and various streaming services, 2022's Violent Night situates an embittered, alcoholic Santa Claus (David Harbour) in a Die Hard scenario with satisfying, crowd-pleasing results. Although the one-joke premise is decidedly B-grade and suggests a cheap, trashy, straight-to-video distraction, Violent N... read more

Such a wonderful spin on a horror/comedy where Santa Claus is the hero! David Harbor is absolutely perfect for this role has the best voice and great thrill to see in anything he's in! To me this is one of the best Christmas movies out there along with Bad Santa. I would defiantly agree with anyone that loved Violent Night, it's a great mix of Home Alone, John Wick, and any horror Christmas movie.... read more

“Another "alternative" Hollywood Christmas movie in a sea of festive romantic comedies from Hallmark and various streaming services, 2022's Violent Night situates an embittered, alcoholic Santa Claus (David Harbour) in a Die Hard scenario with satisfying, crowd-pleasing results. Although the one-joke premise is decidedly B-grade and suggests a cheap, trashy, straight-to-video distraction, Violent Night is a spirited and slickly-executed action-comedy that delivers ample violence and laughs without any unwelcome pretensions. Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters), the film does not take itself too seriously, as the director adopts a devilishly enjoyable tongue-in-cheek approach while exploring the premise's ludicrous potential.
